Against all odds

Chapter 44

I was back at my seat and the principal dismissed us all and I couldnt be held in my seat any longer. I bolted a few rows back to where I had seated my family only to see that it was true. They were here.

Youre here! I said breathlessly.

Of course, we are. You think wed miss it? Mick said smiling at me.

I pulled him into a tight hug before turning to Daniel. You! Can you ever keep your mouth shut? You told literally everyone!

Yeah, sorry about that. He smiled scratching the back of his neck.

Come here you stupid fool. I pulled him in a hug.

Lan. How do you even know about this?

Danny told me that he would be in Sochi Tuesday morning instead of Monday, so I asked why. Wouldnt miss it for the world. He smiled holding me tightly.

Esteban? Pierre? What? I said pulling both of them in.

Were happy for you Alex.

Then another man stepped out from behind me.

You! You saw the e-mail with all the information about today! You asshole. I laughed holding Max tight.

I wanted to come alone but I told Danny, and he was on board and then Danny told Lando and Esteban and Pierre and then I got your brothers number from Mick, and he wanted to come and Seb as well, so we put it in the group chat, and everyone came.

What? Who else? I asked surprised. I turned around and saw a few other drivers.

Seb, Carlos, Charles, George, Yuki, and Fernando were all there smiling happily.

Fuck. Im gonna cry if anyone else is here. I said before going and hugging all of them.

Bad news then. Kimis coming in 15 minutes. Mick said with a bright smile.

But why? I thought you had to go to Sochi?

We do but well take Maxs jet and fly whenever we want. Esteban squeezing a hand onto my shoulder.

Fuck. I dont have the words to describe how happy I am right now. I breathed which caused the others to laugh.

As they were getting recognized more and more, we decided to leave. In the parking lot as we stood in front of our family car I asked: What car did you come with?

We have a nine-seater bus and Micks car, but we have to pick Kimi up from the airport in an hour. Fernando explained and pointed to a grey bus.

Shall I drive you guys? I know a shortcut. I offered and the immediately agreed.

Ill meet you at home. Take care. Well be there in two hours. I said looking at Chris chucking the car keys in his direction.

Drive carefully. He answered.

You need to stop saying that every single time I drive somewhere without you. I rolled my eyes.

Not even thinking about it. Get in the car you little monsters. He insisted and buckled my siblings in before driving off.

Mick will you take as many as possible in the bus and Ill take your car and get Kimi? You know where it is.

Cool with me. Lets go people get in there come on. He smiled as Esteban, Charles, Carlos, Pierre, Yuki, Sebastian, Fernando, and George climbed in and got comfortable.

Ill see you there. I smiled as he waved before closing the drivers door and driving off.

Well, lets hustle then. Max said looking for Micks car.
